NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- The posting of senior executives to different regions around the world
is a cornerstone of Wunderman's
talent management strategy. Its express purpose is to harness individual
talent and knowledge for clients, while simultaneously expanding the
person's abilities. In keeping with that commitment, Wunderman
chairman & CEO Daniel Morel today announced moves that benefit
clients, agency and talent alike.

Martin
Conneen takes the reins as regional president, Wunderman Asia
Pacific, from Stephane Faggianelli, who has served as regional president
since 2006. In a parallel move, Faggianelli is tapped to serve as regional
president, Wunderman Europe/Middle East & Africa (EMEA). The
moves are effective immediately, with both reporting to Morel. In
addition, Conneen joins the Wunderman Executive Board; Faggianelli is
already a member.

Conneen Returns to Asia

Conneen will oversee Wunderman's efforts throughout the Asia Pacific
region's 14 countries, including Australia. He is no stranger to Asia,
having joined Wunderman in 2006 to form Wunderman International in Tokyo
to serve the Microsoft business in Japan. Most recently, Conneen served
as chief operating officer of Wunderman's Brand Experience division and
previously managing director, global client lead, Team Nokia.

French by birth, Faggianelli returns to Europe after spending twelve
years in Asia. At Wunderman he built the network across the region,
drove its digital transformation and developed key accounts including
Microsoft, Nokia, Land Rover and P&G, among others. Faggianelli was
instrumental in aligning acquisitions like AGENDA, Bienalto and Comwerks
with Wunderman's global network, providing clients with best-in-class
data and digital assets. He will be based in London.

During Faggianelli's tenure, the Asia Pacific region achieved dramatic
growth, expanding more than six times in size and strength with 42
offices across Wunderman, AGENDA and AdPeople Worldwide. Key to this
success is a commitment to providing clients with leading data and
digital solutions, and the skills and experience that make clients place
their trust in us. Faggianelli will bring the same focus to his role in
EMEA.

Thoughts on the Moves

Commenting on the moves, Morel said, “Martin and Stephane have both
demonstrated commitment to their clients and great loyalty to Wunderman.
Stephane is an expert on building brands with a distinguished history of
providing clients with creative solutions. His efforts are only matched
by Martin's commitment to organize teams to deliver in today's
increasingly complex data and digital landscape.”
